Is there something in your life right now that you’re waiting on? 

And while you’re waiting, your mind keeps circling the same questions: When will this get better? When will this resolve? How long will this take?

When problems don’t have immediate solutions, our brains tend to reopen them again and again — creating worry loops that make it hard to rest.

In this episode, Bonnie shares a personal story about quieting the mental loop of waiting. You'll learn how asking a different question can transform a season of waiting if stress into something we can live well.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of worry while waiting for something to change, this episode will help you discover how to return to rest and live well in the meantime.

Key Takeaways

Why unresolved situations naturally trigger worry loops in the brain

How asking a better question can quiet anxiety while you wait

What the Zeigarnik Effect reveals about why unfinished problems stick in our minds

How curiosity and small enjoyable actions can interrupt stress loops

Why learning to “wait well” can bring peace even before the situation resolves

Breath Prayer
Inhale: Return to your rest, my soul…
Exhale: The Lord has been good to you…

Scripture

“Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.”
— Psalm 116:7
